58 being its own midpoint
the midpoint of "bereishit"

"reishit" being status-constructus of "rosh"= head -- i.e. leaning on the next word
but "bereishit" is leaning on itself
supported by LXX-translation ἐν ἀρχῇ
ἐν ἀρχῇ ἐποίησεν ὁ θεὸς τὸν οὐρανὸν καὶ τὴν γῆν

Bereishit Rabbah 15:6,
the tree of life is a walking distance of five hundred years
the tree of life is a walking distance of five hundred years
The tree of life encompasses the tree of knowledge of good and evil
only from the perspective of the tree of knowledge they seemed to be two trees
two = "shenayim" = 400
400 the furthest extension of 2

Bereishit Rabbah 15:6,
וְכָל מֵי בְרֵאשִׁית מִתְפַּלְּגִין מִתַּחְתָּיו
"and all the waters of creation branch out from beneath it"
So you might think also the river of Genesis 2:10

Genesis 2:9,
וַיִּטַּ֞ע יְהֹוָ֧ה אֱלֹהִ֛ים גַּן־בְּעֵ֖דֶן מִקֶּ֑דֶם
and the Lord God planted a garden in Eden "mikkedem"
I bet "kedem" to be understood i.c.w. "terem" in Genesis 2:5
וְכֹ֣ל | שִׂ֣יחַ הַשָּׂדֶ֗ה טֶ֚רֶם יִֽהְיֶ֣ה בָאָ֔רֶץ וְכָל־עֵ֥שֶׂב הַשָּׂדֶ֖ה טֶ֣רֶם יִצְמָ֑ח
וַיִּטַּ֞ע יְהֹוָ֧ה אֱלֹהִ֛ים גַּן־בְּעֵ֖דֶן מִקֶּ֑דֶם

"terem" of which Rashi said:
Every טֶרֶם in Scripture has the meaning of “not yet,” and it does not mean“before,” and it cannot be made into a verb form, to say הִטְרִים, as one says

and this again related to what Rashi said on Genesis 1:1
at first God intended to create it to be placed under the rule of strict justice but He realised that the world could not thus endure and therefore gave precedence to ("hikdim" ) Divine Mercy allying it with Divine Justice

i.e. there is no time between the going forth of the river from Eden and its separation into four heads

and you indeed might say that the 1:4 ratio of the two trees in that "etz hachayim" = 233 and "etz hadaat tov vara" = 932 (= 4 x 233) is a miracle!
miracle = "nes"
The 1:4 ratio of the two trees being the "nes" Moses did put the coppersnake on

The same miracle of the two trees expressed in the altar "adonai-nissi" Exodus 17:15

Now it might be also clear how John 3:14-15
is about the miracle of the word (that was "in the beginning")
(and not about the crucifixion)biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…

also since Numbers 21:9 doesn't say that Moses lifted up the snake, but that anyone who would look up to the coppersnake would live
